## Description

desertcart.com As a treatment for clothing, Sawyer Permethrin clothing insect repellent does not harm fabrics and is odorless after dried. Use Permethrin on clothing by itself or with skin-applied repellents to create the ultimate protective, armor-like insect barrier. Permethrin-treatments on clothing are non-toxic to humans and are registered for use by the U.S. EPA.The active ingredient, Permethrin, is a synthetic molecule similar to those found in natural pyrethrum, which is taken from the chrysanthemum flower. Not only does this product repel insects, but will actually kill ticks, mosquitoes, chiggers, mites and more than 55 other kinds of insects.Sawyer Permethrin insect repellents are for use with clothing, tents, and other gear. During the drying process, it tightly bonds with the fibers of the treated garment. It will not stain or damage clothing, fabrics, plastics, finished surfaces, or any of your outdoor gear.Permethrin is a contact insecticide. It kills ticks or other insects when it comes in contact with them. It uses the same active ingredient used in hair shampoos for head lice. When applied to clothing, the Permethrin binds to the fabric eliminating the risk of over-exposure to the skin. As a clothing, tent, chairs, or sleeping bag application, Permethrin is very effective at keeping ticks from attaching to you and at reducing the mosquito population in your camping area. While ticks usually find you at the ankle level (be sure to treat the socks and pants) they can also climb bushes and find you at a higher level so be sure to treat your shirt as well if you are around bushes and concerned about ticks.Permethrin is also an effective repellent against mosquitoes and flies and can be used in conjunction with a skin based repellent. Permethrin can be used as the primary repellent if the exposed skin area (gaps in the treated clothing) is not too large. By storing the treated clothing in black plastic bags between uses the protection can be extended considerably.Sweating and exposure to water do not significantly deteriorate the application. It is primarily the agitation of a washing machine, which deteriorates the Permethrin application as it knocks the molecules loose from the fabric. For best results, Sawyer recommends hand washing and air-drying. When using a conventional washer and dryer, use the gentle wash and dry cycles. Loss due to the dryer is limited compared to the detergent and washer agitation. Dry cleaning removes the Permethrin from the fabric.Permethrin can last up to six weeks including through six weekly washings. All treatments are non-staining and not greasy. Always follow the directions for use on the package label.Application RecommendationsWhen treating clothing, Sawyer recommends 3 ounces of formula per garment. It does not matter whether the garment is a size small or extra large; you are seeking the molecules in 3 ounces of the formula to protect you.If you are treating your socks, they count in the overall application as well and the formula used is part of the 6 ounces needed to treat an outfit.Applying less than 3 ounces per garment will lead to unsatisfactory results. Frequently Asked QuestionsHow do I use Permethrin safely? Permethrin is to be applied to clothing and material. It works by bonding to the fibers. When a tick or other insect comes into contact with the Permethrin it absorbs a dose that will either repel or kill the insect. You apply Permethrin until the fabric is damp and then allow it to dry. Permethrin is easy to use and the resulting layer of protection is very important to your safety from insect-borne diseases. Is Permethrin dangerous to my skin? The warning labels on the cans or bottles are often misunderstood. Your skin metabolizes, or breaks down Permethrin within fifteen minutes of contact with skin. Therefore, it is of no value to you as a personal protection insect repellent when applied to the skin. In addition, the EPA precautionary statement, "Do Not Apply to Skin" indicates that Permethrin is ineffective when applied to skin; therefore, do not apply to skin. Can I use Permethrin on my cat or dog? Sawyer Permethrin Clothing Treatments are registered with the US EPA for use on outer clothing and personal gear items, such as sleeping bags, tents and netting. There are other Permethrin formulations registered for use on cats and dogs. Be sure to read the product label to ensure the product can be used on pets. Do not expose cats to wet Permethrin as it affects their central nervous system. This is not true with dogs, horses, or cows. Cats can be around Permethrin treated fabrics once the application has dried. How long does Permethrin last? At the concentration level delivered in the aerosol, non-aerosol pump sprays and soak systems (all at 0.5 percent Permethrin), an application lasts for six weeks and through six washings. Permethrin breaks down through exposure to air (oxygen) and sunlight (ultraviolet light). If you store the clothes in black plastic bags between uses, you can extend the time of effectiveness; however, always retreat after the sixth laundering. Permethrin may also be used on sleeping bags, tents and nettings. Does Permethrin work against mosquitoes?Yes. Permethrin clothing treatments, when applied following Directions for Use, have been determined to have "spatial repellency" against mosquitoes. This means that mosquitoes will swarm around you, but not light on your treated clothing and bite.Also use an EPA registered repellent, such as the Sawyer microencapsulated Controlled Release 20 percent DEET, on all exposed skin for further protection from biting and blood sucking mosquitoes. The combination of Permethrin on clothing and DEET repellent on skin forms an "Insect Repellent System." When used as directed on the EPA registered labels, the Insect Repellent System will provide the best protection from biting, blood sucking and disease carrying insects. A well known study conducted by Tom Lillie, Carl Schreck and A. J. Rahe in Alaska in 1987, showed 99.9 percent effectiveness against mosquitoes biting at a rate of more than 1,100/hr. This protection is far greater than either a DEET-based insect repellent or Permethrin can achieve alone.Will Permethrin ruin my clothes or equipment?No. Permethrin will not damage clothes or equipment. Unlike DEET, which may harm some fabrics and materials, Permethrin is compatible for use even on fragile fabrics such as silk, plus all synthetics and waterproof membrane fabrics. Permethrin will not affect plastics or finishes.If in doubt, try a sample on an obscure surface area, especially on delicates and check it after 24 hours of exposure. Sawyer Permethrin Insect Repellent is odorless, non-greasy and non-staining after it dries. Permethrin can be harmful to aquatic creatures such as fish, so do not spray Permethrin around fish aquariums.

Review: Effective against mosquitoes and spiders - I bought this to treat my hiking clothing to help against mosquitoes mainly, and I definitely get very few bites when wearing clothing treated with this. I also bought it hoping it may keep away black widows and brown recluse spiders, and I didn't get any spider bites last year. I was bit a few years ago by a black window and it caused a large patch of skin on my leg to go necrotic and itched for over a year! Hopefully something as simple as this will keep them off and save that discomfort. This bottle says it's enough to treat 8 items and treat each item with 3oz regardless of size, surface area, or absorption. I think that's a pretty broad number, and I you can vary how heavy you lay it on. My hiking shirt and shorts are rather small and thin and I ended up using less then 1/6th(4oz) the bottle for both. It remained effective for about 3 weeks hiking with a lot of sweat and a few washes. This product dries clear and is odorless afterwards, although you'll want to apply it in a garage or with good ventilation. It also adds very little weight to clothing afterwards, my shirt was 73g before applying and 80g after it dried.
Review: It works! - A year ago I took up hiking. Experienced hikers all warned me about ticks. While others last year had their problems with ticks, bites and infections, I must have been lucky to not encounter any/take home any in my over 700 miles of hiking. Not this year. I'm guessing the mild winter has left us with an abundance of ticks. This stuff works. On a hike this week I was inundated with flying ants, flies and other bugs. Those that landed on me immediately fell off and went into convulsions. Great product. Follow the directions carefully when applying. Don't get it on you or in your eyes. (Wear disposable gloves; spray close to the fabric.) Hang the sprayed items out of doors and out of the sunlight to dry.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: The product pictures switch from a 24oz bottle to a 12 oz bottle; is this the price for 24oz?**
A: Press the size button.

**Q: how much does one need to buy to use on long sleeved shirts and pants?  also, does it stain clothing in any way?**
A: It won't stain your clothing in any way. It sprays on clear like water. As far as how much to buy for long sleeved shirts and pants, this bottle (24 oz) will cover you for numerous shirts and pairs of pants. I've used one bottle to treat about 12 pairs of socks, 12 short sleeved shirts, and a couple of pairs of pants (front and back) TWICE with a VERY generous treating and I still have some to treat. One treating also lasts for 6 washes (I think it says on the bottle or in the description? both?) although I treat every 2-3 or so. Works great!!

**Q: My daughter gets eaten alive at sleep away camp. Would you recommend this for a 10 year old?**
A: It works great but it's made for clothing ONLY....not for use on skin. I used this last year in Minnesota, I had clouds of mosquitos swarming around me but not a single bite... I used this on my clothing and a good deet based cream on my skin. FYI....the days I went out with untreated clothing, they were biting me through my shirt and pants so this does work. I applied the spray as per the directions to a few shirts and pants since I knew I'd be out in the woods photographing wild bears. I did this before my trip. I hung the clothes, sprayed them outdoors and let them dry. I packed them in a space saver bag for my trip. The spray will stay on the clothes even after a few washes but it is less effective the more times they're washed.

**Q: Anyone had good success using this for keeping ticks the hell off of you?! Thanks**
A: Have not tried it for ticks, but it should work.

### ⭐ Mosquitoes in Guyana unaffected by this product - product failed!!!
*by J***S on January 23, 2013*

I purchased 2 bottles of this product for my month long trip to Guyana (Located in South America). I used this product and mosquitoes were unfazed by it. Product advertised that mosquitoes would be kept away for 45 days. Within one day, the mosquitoes returned. Having read that this product was effective in Zimbabwe I thought Guyana would be smooth sailing. Not true !! If it wasn't for 3M Ultratron I would have contracted some serious mosquito borne disease. Product didn't work for me. Maybe it is effective in the US but it certainly wasn't in Guyana. The mosquitoes in Guyana are vicious; if I applied repellent on my hand and missed a spot less than the size of a US quarter,these critters would bite me on the very spot on my hands without repellent though 95 % of hands has repellent.
